WARNING
This Product Must Be Installed By A Licensed Plumber Or Gas Fitter When Installed Within The
Commonwealth Of Massachusetts.
IV Locating the Boiler
1) Do not install this boiler directly on a combustible floor. This boiler may be installed over a non-carpeted combustible
floor by using the following special bases available from Crown.
Boiler Model
16-325
Combustible Flooring Base #
500506
500507
500508
500509
500510
16-390
16-455
16-520
16-585
2) Series 16 clearance and other boiler room space requirements depend upon the size of the boiler:
Models 16-325, 16-390 – These sizes are approved for alcove installation. Install with the minimum clearances shown
in Table 2. The clearances shown in Table 2 apply to all combustible construction as well as non-combustible walls,
floors, ceilings and doors (also see Figure 2).
Models 16-455, 16-520, 16-585 – These sizes must be installed in a boiler room that is “large in comparison to the
boiler”. Such a room is defined as having a volume at least 16 times that of the boiler. Table 3 shows the required
minimum boiler room volumes required for these three sizes. To find the volume of the boiler room calculate:
Boiler Room Volume (ft3) = Length (ft) x Width (ft) x Height (ft)
If the boiler room height is greater than 8ft, use 8ft in the above equation.
In addition to the minimum boiler room volume requirement, these three sizes must be installed with the minimum
clearances shown in Table 2. The clearances shown in Table 2 apply to all combustible construction as well as non-
combustible walls, floors, ceilings and doors (also see Figure 2).

8) Verify that all needed components are on hand. A complete list of all cartons along with their contents can be
found in the Parts Section of this manual.
B. Boiler (Base, Heat Exchanger, Flue Collector) Assembly, Installation & Leak Testing
1) Each boiler assembly (base, heat exchanger, flue collector combination) is tested and shipped as a single unit.
2) Place the base, heat exchanger and flue collector assembly in close proximity to the final location. Refer to Sections
III and IV in this manual for additional information on placement.
3) Remove all packaging material, protective spacers and bracing from the assembly.
4) Remove the base hold down bolts used to anchor the assembly to the skid.
5) Exercise care to avoid dropping the boiler while removing it from the skid.
6) Leak test the heat exchanger before installing the jacket, trim and controls. Refer to Figure 4 and Table 4 for
tapping locations and sizes.
a. Plug tappings C, F and return tapping B. Tapping E is plugged at the factory.
b. Insert a 3/4” x 1/4” NPT bushing in tapping D and install a pressure gauge with a mid-range of 50 psi in this
location.
c. Insert a 2” x 3/4” NPT bushing in supply tapping A and install a purge valve with a hose that runs to a drain in
this location.
d. Connect a fill valve and piping to the drain tapping G.
e. Fill the heat exchanger completely with water and vent the air through the purge valve. Slowly close the purge
valve and apply water pressure of at least 10 psi but less than 50 psi gauge. DO NOT EXCEED THE 50 PSI
LIMIT.
f. Carefully examine all parts of the heat exchanger assembly for leaks.
g. Drain the heat exchanger and remove plugs from tappings B & C. Also remove the fill valve, purge valve
pressure gauge and related piping used in the leak test.
7) Installation on combustible flooring requires the use of a special base designed and approved for use on combustible
floors. See Figure 5. This special base adds 4-3/4” to the overall boiler height. Follow the instructions below if a
special base is required.
a. Place special base on combustible floor with surface marked "FRONT" in upward position.
b. Locate special base with spacing to combustible materials as shown in Figure 5.
c. Place the base, heat exchanger and flue collector assembly on the special base. The assembly must rest inside
locating brackets. Note that the boiler jacket panels will overhang special base.

VI Air For Combustion and Ventilation
Sufficient fresh air must be supplied for combustion, ventilation and flue gas dilution. Provisions for combustion,
ventilation and flue gas dilution air for gas utilization equipment vented by natural draft must be made in accordance
with local building codes or, in absence of such codes, in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI
Z223.1.
Warning
An adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air must be provided
to assure proper combustion.
1) Start by determining whether the boiler is to be installed in a building of conventional construction or of unusually
tight construction. A good definition of a building of unusually tight construction is one which has all of the
following features:
•
Walls and ceilings exposed to outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of
1 perm or less with openings gasketed and sealed.
•
•
Weather stripping has been added on openable windows and doors.
Caulking and sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates
and floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas
lines, and at other openings.
2) Determine the volume of the boiler room space. Rooms communicating directly with the boiler room space, in
which the fuel burning appliances are installed, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of
the boiler room space.
Volume (ft³) = Length (ft) x Width (ft) x Height (ft)
In calculating the volume of the boiler room, consider the volume of adjoining spaces only if no doors are
installed between them. If doors are installed between the boiler room and an adjoining space, do not consider
the volume of the adjoining space, even if the door is normally left open.
3) Determine total input of all fuel burning appliances in the boiler room space. Add inputs of all fuel burning appliances
in the boiler room space and round the result to the next highest 1000 Btu per hour.
4) Determine type of boiler room space to be used. Divide Volume by Total Input (in MBH) of all fuel burning appliances
in the boiler room space. If the result is greater than or equal to 50 ft³/MBH, then it is considered an unconfined space.
If the result is less than 50 ft³/MBH, then the boiler room space is considered a confined space.
A. For Buildings Not Of Unusually Tight Construction
1) Unconfined space - Fresh air infiltration through cracks and around windows and doors normally provides
adequate air for combustion and ventilation without additional louvers or openings into the boiler room.
2) Confined space - Provide two openings into the boiler room, one near the floor and one near the ceiling. The top
edge of the upper opening must be within 12” of the ceiling and the bottom edge of the lower opening must be
within 12” of the floor. See Figure 10.
• Each opening must have a free area of 1 square inch per 1000 BTU/hr input of all gas burning appliances in the
boiler room. The minimum opening dimension is 3 inches. Minimum opening free area is 100 square inches
per opening.
• If the total volume of both the boiler room and the room to which the openings connect is less than 50 cubic
feet per 1000 BTU/hr of total appliance input, install a pair of identical openings into a third room. Connect
additional rooms with openings until the total volume of all rooms is at least 50 cubic feet per 1000 BTU/hr
of input.
• The “free area” of an opening takes into account the blocking effect of mesh, grills, and louvers. Where screens
are used, they must be no finer than 1/4” (4 x 4) mesh.

Figure 10: Boiler Installed In Confined Space, All Air From Inside
• If providing openings into adjacent rooms is undesirable, combustion and ventilation air can be brought into
the boiler room from outdoors. See the instructions under “For Buildings of Unusually Tight Construction”.
B. For Buildings Of Unusually Tight Construction
1) Provide outdoor air through two permanent openings which communicate directly or by duct with the outdoors or
spaces (crawl or attic) freely exchanging air with the outdoors. The top edge of the upper opening must be within
12” of the ceiling and the bottom edge of the lower opening must be within 12” of the floor. The minimum
dimension of each air opening is 3 inches. Size each opening per the following instructions:
a. Direct communication with outdoors (Figure 13) require a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4,000 Btu per
hour input based on all fuel burning appliances in the boiler room space but not less than 100 square inches. The
minimum opening size is 3 inches.
b. Vertical ducts or Openings (Figure 11 and Figure 12) require a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4,000 Btu
per hour input of all fuel burning appliances in the boiler room space but not less than 100 square inches. The cross-
sectional area of the duct shall be the same as the required free area opening. The minimum opening size is 3 inches.
c. Horizontal ducts to the outdoors (Figure 14) require a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 2,000 Btu per hour
input of all fuel burning appliances in the boiler room space but not less than 100 square inches. The cross-sectional
area of the duct shall be the same as the required free area opening. The minimum opening size is 3 inches.
d. Louvers and Grilles of Ventilation Ducts - All outside openings should be screened or louvered. Louvers will
prevent the entrance of rain and snow. Louvers and grilles must be fixed in the open position. If motorized louvers
are used, they must be interlocked to prevent boiler operation in the event the louvers do not fully open.
Important
When determining the “free area” of an opening, the blocking effects of mesh screens,
grills, louvers and the like should be taken into account. Where screens are used, they
must be no finer than 1/4” (4 x 4) mesh.

VII Venting
Vent installation must be in accordance with local building codes, or the authority having jurisdiction, or Chapters 7
and 10 of the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1.
A typical vent installation is shown in Figure 15. The components of a vent installation are the draft hood, vent
damper (optional), vent connector and chimney.
1) Acceptable Chimneys - The following chimneys may be used to vent Series 16 boilers:
•
Listed Type B or L gas vent - Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, the terms of its listing, and
applicable codes.
•
Masonry Chimney - The masonry chimney must be constructed in accordance with the Standard for Chimneys,
Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances (NFPA 211) and lined with a clay liner or other listed lining
system. Do not vent a Series 16 boiler into an unlined chimney.
2) Acceptable Vent Connectors - The following may be used for vent connectors:
•
•
Listed type B or L Gas Vent
Single Wall Galvanized Pipe - Use 0.018” (26 gauge or heavier). The size and location of the chimney may not
permit the use of a single wall connector in some cases. See Chapter 10 of the National Fuel Gas Code. Do not use
single wall pipe for vent connectors in attics.
•
Other Vent Connectors Permitted by the National Fuel Gas Code.
3) Chimney and Vent Connector Sizing – Size the chimney and vent connector in accordance with the National Fuel Gas
Code.
4) Exterior Chimneys - An exterior chimney has one or more sides exposed to the outdoors below the roof line. There are
two conditions under which an exterior chimney may be used:
•
In some very restrictive cases, Series 16 boilers may be vented into an exterior ceramic lined masonry
chimney. See the National Fuel Gas Code for information on when exterior chimneys may be used.
•
An exterior masonry chimney may be used if it is lined with B vent or a listed chimney lining system.
5) This boiler may be vented using a listed power venter. The power venter must be sized and installed in accordance
with the power venter manufacturer’s instructions, the terms of the power venter listing, and applicable codes. The
boiler must be electrically interlocked with the power venter to prevent boiler operation if the power venter fails to
operate. Before deciding to use a power venter, make certain that the flue gas exiting the power venter will not damage
adjacent construction or other structures. Also make certain that the power venter terminal will not be subjected to
winds which could effect power venter operation. The factory supplied draft hood must still be installed and may not
be altered. See Figure 9.
6) Do not connect the vent of this appliance into any portion of a mechanical vent system operating under positive
pressure.
7) Do not connect the boiler into a chimney flue serving an open fireplace or other solid fuel appliance.
8) Prior to boiler installation, inspect chimney for obstructions or other defects and correct as required. Clean chimney
as necessary.
Warning
Do not attempt to cut or otherwise alter the draft hood supplied with the Series 16
boiler. Do not mount the draft hood in a position other than that shown in Figure 15.
Doing either of these things could create a Carbon Monoxide hazard.

Removing An Existing Boiler From A Common Chimney
In some cases, when an existing boiler is removed from a common chimney, the common venting system may be too large
for the remaining appliances. At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the following steps shall be followed with each
appliance remaining connected to the common venting system placed in operation, while the other appliances remaining
connected to the common venting system are not in operation.
a) Seal any unused opening in the common venting system.
b) Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage or
restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
c) Insofar as practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which all the
appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn
on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such
as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust
fan. Close fireplace dampers.
d) Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so the
appliance will operate continuously.
e) Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after five (5) minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a
match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar, or pipe.
f) After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system properly vents
when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas-burning
appliances to their previous condition of use.
g) Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the installation conforms with the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the common
venting system should be resized to approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in Part
11 of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

VIII System Piping
CAUTION
•
INSTALL BOILER SO THAT THE GAS IGNITION SYSTEM COMPONENTS ARE PROTECTED
FROM WATER (DRIPPING, SPRAYING, RAIN, ETC.) DURING APPLIANCE OPERATION AND
SERVICE (CIRCULATOR REPLACEMENT, ETC.).
•
•
•
OPERATION OF THIS BOILER WITH CONTINUOUS RETURN TEMPERATURES BELOW 120°F
CAN CAUSE SEVERE HEAT EXCHANGER CORROSION DAMAGE.
OPERATION OF THIS BOILER IN A SYSTEM HAVING SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF DISSOLVED
OXYGEN CAN CAUSE SEVERE HEAT EXCHANGER CORROSION DAMAGE.
DO NOT USE TOXIC ADDITIVES, SUCH AS AUTOMOTIVE ANTIFREEZE, IN A HYDRONIC
SYSTEM.
A. Standard Heating System Piping
1) Figure 18 shows typical boiler system connections on a single zone system. Additional information on hydronic
system design may be found in Installation of Residential Hydronic Systems (Pub. #200) published by the Hydronics
Institute in Berkeley Heights, NJ. The components in this system and their purposes are as follows:
a. Relief valve (Required) - Install a 3/4” NPT x 3-1/2” lg. nipple in tapping “C” located on the left side of the
boiler. Mount the relief valve on the end of the nipple as shown in Figure 1. The relief valve shipped with the
boiler is set to open at 30 psi. This valve may be replaced with one having a pressure up to the “MAWP, WATER”
shown on the rating plate. If the valve is replaced, the replacement must have a relief capacity in excess of the DOE
heating capacity for the boiler.
Pipe the discharge of the relief valve to a location where water or steam will not create a hazard or cause property
damage if the valve opens. The end of the discharge pipe must terminate in an unthreaded pipe. If the relief valve
discharge is not piped to a drain it must terminate at least 6 inches above the floor. Do not run relief valve discharge
piping through an area that is prone to freezing. The termination of the relief valve discharge piping must be in an
area where it is not likely to become plugged by debris.
DANGER
•
•
•
•
PIPE RELIEF VALVE DISCHARGE TO A SAFE LOCATION.
DO NOT INSTALL A VALVE IN THE RELIEF VALVE DISCHARGE LINE.
DO NOT MOVE RELIEF VALVE FROM FACTORY LOCATION.
DO NOT PLUG RELIEF VALVE DISCHARGE.
b. Drain Valve (Required) - Install a 3/4” NPT x 3-1/2” nipple in tapping “G” located in the rear of the left end section
of the boiler. Attach a 3/4” NPT pipe coupling to the end of the nipple and attach the drain valve to the end of the
coupling.
c. Circulator (Required) - The best circulator location is usually on the supply piping just downstream of the expansion
tank as shown in Figure 18.
d. Expansion Tank (Required) - If the expansion tank must be replaced, consult the expansion tank manufacturer’s
literature for proper sizing.
e. Fill Valve (Required) - Either a manual or automatic fill valve may be used. The ideal location for the fill is at the
expansion tank. On large systems with an automatic fill valve, it is recommended that a small water meter be
installed in the make-up water line to monitor the amount of water added to the system.
f. Automatic Air Vent (Required) - At least one automatic air vent is required and should be located at the expansion
tank. Manual vents will usually be required in other parts of the system to remove air during initial fill.
g. Low Water Cut-Off (Required in some situations) - A low water cutoff is required when the boiler is installed above
radiation. In addition, some codes such as ASME CSD-1 require low water cutoffs. Codes may also require that
21
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
this low water cutoff have a manual reset function. The low water cutoff may be a float type or probe type, but must
be designed for use in a hot-water system. The low water cutoff should be piped into the boiler supply just above
the boiler with no intervening valves between it and the boiler.
Use a low water cutoff that breaks the 120 VAC supply to the boiler. Do not attempt to wire a 24-volt low water
cutoff into the boiler factory wiring.
h. Manual Reset High Limit (Required by some codes) - This control is required by ASME CSD-1 and some other
codes. Install the high limit in the boiler supply piping just beyond the boiler with no intervening valves. Set the
manual reset high limit as far above the operating limit setting as possible, but not over 240°F. Wire the control to
break the 120 VAC electrical supply to the boiler.
i. Flow Control Valve (Required under some conditions) - The flow control valve prevents flow through the system
unless the circulator is operating. A flow control valve may be necessary on converted gravity systems to prevent
gravity circulation. Flow control valves are also used to prevent “ghost flows” in circulator zone systems through
zones that are not calling for heat.
j. Isolation Valves (Optional) - Isolation valves are useful if the boiler must be drained, as they will eliminate having
to drain and refill the entire system.
B. Piping for Special Situations
1) Certain types of heating systems have additional requirements. Some of the more common variations follow:
a. Large Water Volume Systems - The bypass piping shown in Figure 18 will minimize the amount of time that the
boiler operates with return temperatures below 120°F on these systems. A bypass is installed as shown to divert
some supply water directly into the return water. The bypass pipe should be the same size as the supply. The two
throttling valves shown are adjusted so that the return temperature rises above 120°F during the first few minutes of
operation. A three-way valve can be substituted for the two throttling valves shown. If the circulator is mounted on
the supply, the bypass must be on the discharge side of the circulator.
b. Systems containing oxygen - Many hydronic systems contain enough dissolved oxygen to cause severe corrosion
damage to a cast iron boiler such as the Series 16. Some examples include:
•
•
•
Radiant systems that employ tubing without an oxygen barrier.
Systems with routine additions of fresh water.
Systems which are open to the atmosphere.
If the boiler is to be used in such a system, it must be separated from the oxygenated water being heated with a heat
exchanger.
Consult the heat exchanger manufacturer for proper heat exchanger sizing as well as flow and temperature
requirements. All components on the oxygenated side of the heat exchanger, such as the pump and expansion tank,
must be designed for use in oxygenated water.
c. Piping with a Chiller - If the boiler is used in conjunction with a chiller, pipe the boiler and chiller in parallel as
shown in Figure 19. Use isolation valves to prevent chilled water from entering the boiler.
d. Air Handlers - Where the boiler is connected to air handlers through which refrigerated air passes, use flow control
valves in the boiler piping or other automatic means to prevent gravity circulation during the cooling cycle.

IX Gas Piping
1) Gas piping to the boiler must be sized to deliver an adequate supply of gas for the boiler to fire at the nameplate
input with the inlet pressure at the gas valves between the minimum and maximum valves shown on the rating
plate. For more information on gas line sizing, consult the Utility or the National Fuel Gas Code.
2) Figure 20 shows the typical gas piping connection(s) to the Series 16 boiler. A sediment trap must be installed
upstream of all gas controls. Install a manual shut-off valve and ground joint union as shown.
3) Be sure to use a pipe thread compound (pipe dope) compatible with the fuel type to be used i.e. NG (natural gas)
or LP (liquefied petroleum) for all gas line connections.
4) The use of teflon tape is not recommended for use on gas line connections.
5) The boiler and its gas connection must be leak tested before placing the boiler in operation. When doing this, the
boiler and its individual shut-off must be disconnected from the rest of the system during any pressure testing of
that system at pressures in excess of 1/2 psi. When pressure testing the gas system at pressures of 1/2 psi or
less, isolate the boiler from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve.

X Control System Wiring
WARNING
All wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such
requirements, with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70).
1) Provide the boiler with a dedicated branch circuit with a fused disconnect. The minimum rating of this circuit
must be 15A.
2) Locate the supplied wire harnesses and wire the boiler following the appropriate wiring diagram in Figures 21 or
22. Use 14 gauge wire for all 120 volt wiring to circulators, low water cut-offs and auxiliary manual reset hi limits
switches supplied by others. The junction box located on the inside right side jacket panel is to become the hub for
all limit and low water cut-off wiring. All 120 volt boiler wiring must be enclosed in conduit.
3) Make sure that all single pole switches and safety controls supplied by others are in the “hot” (ungrounded) side of
the circuit.
4) If a LWCO and or manual reset limit are used, wire them so that they break the 120 volt “Hot” connection to the
boiler. Do not install these devices in the 24 volt factory wiring.
5) When wiring the optional vent damper attach the quick connect end of the supplied wire harness to the mounting
bracket on the vent and plug the quick connect into the receptacle on the vent damper. Attach the BX cable
connector located on the other end of the harness to one of the knockouts on the jacket top panel. Remove the
factory installed jumper plug from the vent damper receptacle located in the vestibule and insert the plug from the
vent damper harness into the vent damper receptacle. Cut the jumper wire on the jumper plug and discard it.
DANGER
Do not attempt to reuse the jumper plug on boilers installed with vent dampers. Flue gas spillage can occur resulting
in severe injury or death.
6) The 24 volt “thermostat / operating control” shown in Figures 21 and 22 is not supplied. It is the control that turns
the boiler on in response to a call for heat. Follow the thermostat / operating control instructions for placement
and wiring. Provide Class II circuit between the thermostat / operating control and the boiler. Wire the thermostat
or operating control across terminals ‘G’ and ‘R’ on the Honeywell 8285D Control Center as shown in Figures 21
and 22. Set the heat anticipator on the thermostat to match the setting listed on the ignition control.
7) Attach the line voltage or “hot” side of the circulator motor supplied by others to the yellow wire from terminal
3 on the R8222U relay located on the Honeywell R8285D Control Center. Attach the neutral side of the circulator
tothe common leads in the junction box and ground as required by the circulator manufacturer. See Figures 21 and
22 for details.
Sequence of Operation – Vent Damper (If Used)
1) The vent damper is continuously powered at terminal 1.
2) On a call for heat, the damper relay coil is energized through terminal 2 if all the limits ahead of the damper are
satisfied.
3) The relay coil closes contacts which energize the damper motor, causing the damper to open.
4) When the damper blade reaches the fully open position, power is sent back to the ignition circuit through terminal 3
and the damper motor is de-energized.
26
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
5) When a call for heat is satisfied, the damper relay coil is de-energized - closing the contacts which energize the
damper motor. This causes the damper to close. When the damper blade reaches the fully closed position, the
damper motor is de-energized.
6) Should a power failure occur, the damper blade will stop in the position it was in when power was lost. Combus-
tion can never take place unless the damper blade is in the fully open position.
Sequence of Operation – Standard Boiler Wiring
1) All low water cut-offs and auxiliary limit controls are wired in series so that the boiler will not operate if any of
these controls are open. Under normal circumstances, only the operating control contacts will be open.
2) Upon a call for heat, the operating control will make and the vent damper (if used) will open. Simultaneously, 120
volts will be applied to the circulator.
3) 24 volts will then appear across the “24V” and “24V (GND)” terminals on the ignition modules.
4) Upon application of voltage across the “24V” and “24V (GND)” terminals, the ignition module will start an ignition
spark at the pilot and apply 24 volts across the pilot valve.
5) Once the pilot is established, the pilot flame will act as a diode, converting the AC current at the electrode to a half
wave DC current at the pilot’s ground strap. This DC current flows through the boiler to the “GND (BURNER)”
connection on the ignition module.
6) Once the ignition module detects the presence of a pilot flame, voltage is applied across the main valve, opening
the valve and establishing main flame.
7) The way in which the ignition module handles failure to establish pilot or the loss of an already established pilot
depends upon the exact ignition module supplied with the boiler. For more information on module operation,
consult the ignition module instructions supplied with the boiler or the local Crown representative.
Sequence of Operation – CSD-1 Boiler Wiring
1) All low water cut-offs, limit controls, and the operating contacts are wired in series so that the boiler will not
operate if any of these controls are open. Under normal circumstances, only the operating control contacts will be
open.
2) Upon a call for heat, the operating control will make and the vent damper (if used) will open. Simultaneously, 120
volts will be applied to the circulator.
3) 24 volts will then appear across the “24V” and “24V (GND)” terminals on the ignition modules and on the
“24VAC” and “COM” terminals on the 1145-2 Daughter Board.
4) The ignition module will start an ignition spark at the pilot and apply 24 volts across the pilot valve.
5) Once a pilot is established, the pilot flame will act as a diode, converting AC current at the pilot electrode to a half
wave DC current at the pilot’s ground strap. This DC current flows through the boiler to the “GND” terminal on
the ignition module.
6) Once the ignition module detects the presence of a pilot flame, voltage is applied across the main valve, opening
the valve and establishing main flame.
7) If the pilot flame is not established during the trial for ignition period, or if the pilot signal is lost after the main
flame is established, the module will de-energize the open pilot valve and main valve (if open) and wait 5 minutes.
It will then repeat steps 4-6. If the pilot is still not established, the Alarm contacts on the ignition module will
make. This will cause the 1145-2 Daughter Board to break power to the ignition module and illuminate the red
LED on the Daughter Board. The ignition module will remain de-energized until the reset button on the daughter
board is pressed.

Safety Control Operation
Temperature Limit Control – The temperature limit control interrupts burner operation when the supply water tempera-
ture exceeds the set point. Maximum allowable water temperature in a water boiler is 250F. The L4080D will reset itself
when the water temperature drops below the set point less the differential (typically 15F). The circulator will continue
to operate for as long as the thermostat or operating control calls for heat. If a vent damper is installed, it will close
when the high limit opens. Manual reset water limit controls, such as the Honeywell L4006E, must be manually reset.
For this reason, they should be set well above the operating limit control to avoid nuisance boiler shutdowns.
Blocked Vent Switch - The blocked vent switch automatically interrupts main burner operation when flue gas spillage,
caused by a complete vent blockage, occurs. The circulator continues to operate and the vent damper (if used) remains
open with a call for heat. If the blocked vent switch is activated, do not attempt to place the boiler in operation. Correct
the cause of the spillage and reset the blocked vent switch.
Flame Roll-out Switch - The flame roll-out switch automatically interrupts main burner operation when flames or
excessive heat are present in the vestibule. The circulator continues to operate and the vent damper (if used) remains
open with a call for heat. This control is a single use device. If the flame roll-out switch is activated, do not attempt to
place the boiler in operation. Correct the cause of the spillage and replace the flame roll-out switch.
Low Water Cut-off (by others) – Low water cut-offs interrupt burner operation if the water level in the boiler drops
below a safe level. See the manufacturer’s instructions for further details on the operation of this safety control.

NOTE
SAFE LIGHTING AND OTHER PERFORMANCE CRITERIA WERE MET WITH THE GAS MANIFOLD
AND CONTROL ASSEMBLY PROVIDED ON THE BOILER WHEN THE BOILER UNDERWENT THE
TESTS SPECIFIED IN Z21.13.
XI Start-up and Checkout
Use the following procedure for initial start-up of the boiler:
1) Make sure that the boiler is filled with water.
WARNING
•
NEVER ATTEMPT TO FILL A HOT EMPTY BOILER
2) Check all new gas piping for leaks and purge piping sections that are filled with air. See the National Fuel Gas
Code for additional information on testing and purging gas lines.
3) Verify that vent system is complete and free of obstructions before attempting to fire boiler.
4) Inspect all wiring for loose or uninsulated connections.
5) Make sure the main burners are seated properly in the rear of burner tray and on orifices.
6) Adjust thermostat to the highest setting. Make sure the vent damper (if used) has fully opened.
7) Start the boiler using the appropriate lighting instructions for the gas valve on the boiler on page 34.
NOTE
The combustion chamber insulation panels in this boiler contain a cornstarch based binder which may emit a strong
odor as it is burned out of the insulation when the boiler is fired for the first time. An hour or more of continuous
firing may be required to burn off all of this binder. Open any windows and outside doors in the boiler room to
maximize ventilation while this binder is burned out.

8) Upon initial start-up, the gas train will be filled with air. Even if the gas line has been completely purged of air, it
may take several tries for ignition before a flame is established. Once a flame has been established for the first
time, subsequent calls for burner operation should result in a flame on the first try.
9) Observe pilot burner flame. See Figure 23. The pilot flame should be a steady medium blue flame covering
around 3/8” to ½” of the spark electrode / flame rod.
10) Inspect the main burner flames visible through the observation port in burner access panel. The flame should be
stable and mostly blue. See Figure 24. No yellow tipping should be present; however, intermittent flecks of
yellow and orange in the flame are normal.
11) Check entire gas train for leaks using soap and water or other approved leak detection method while boiler is
firing. Fix any leaks found immediately.
WARNING
•
•
NEVER USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
MAKE SURE THAT THE AREA AROUND THE BOILER IS CLEAR AND FREE FROM
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE, AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS.
12) Run the gas valve safety shutdown test with the main burners firing. Disconnect ignition cable from the ignition
module on the boiler. Both the pilot burner and main burners should stop firing.
13) Check the manifold pressure and adjust if necessary. To do this, use the following procedure:
WARNING
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE EXACTLY COULD RESULT
IN OVER-FIRING OF THE BOILER AND A CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD.
a. Connect a manometer to the inlet pressure tap on the gas valve (See Figure 25).
b. Check the inlet pressure with all gas appliances on and off. The inlet pressure at the inlet of each gas valve
must be within the following limits regardless of what combination of appliances is firing:
Inlet Press (inches w.c.)
Natural Gas
5.0
LP Gas
11.0
Min.
Max.
14.0
14.0
If the inlet pressure falls outside of these limits, find and correct the cause of the problem before proceeding
further.
c. Connect a manometer to the manifold (outlet) pressure tap on the gas valve on the first base module. See
Figure 25.
d. Read the manifold pressure. It should be set at:
Natural Gas
3.5
LP Gas
10.0
Manifold Pressure (inches w.c.)
e. If a manifold pressure adjustment is needed, make the adjustment by turning the pressure regulator screw
(See Figure 25) clockwise to raise the pressure and counter clockwise to reduce the pressure. If a manifold
pressure adjustment is made, recheck the line pressure to be certain that it is still within acceptable limits.
f. Replace the cover screw on the regulator.

14) Test thermostat operation while the boiler is running. Turn the thermostat to the lowest setting. Both pilot
burner and main burners should stop firing and the vent damper (if used) should close. Raise the thermostat back
to the highest setting. The vent damper (if used) should open and the pilot burner and main burners should relight.
15) Verify high limit operation. Allow the boiler water temperature to increase to high limit setting. The burners
should shut down, the circulator continues running and the vent damper (if used) closes. Allow the boiler water
temperature to drop below high limit setting. The vent damper (if used) should open and the pilot burner and main
burners should relight.
16) Inspect the vent system for flue gas leaks. Repair any leaks found before leaving the boiler in operation.
17) After the boiler has operated for approximately 30 minutes, check the boiler and heating system piping for leaks.
Repair any leaks found at once.
18) Review the “USER’S INFORMATION MANUAL” and system operation with the owner or operator.

XII Service and Maintenance
The following routine maintenance should be performed:
On a continuous basis:
1) Keep the area around the boiler free and clear from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
2) Keep the area around the boiler and boiler room ventilation openings clear of objects which might obstruct the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
On an annual basis:
1) Turn off electrical power and gas supply to the boiler.
2) Inspect the flue passages for signs of blockage. If there is any carbon in the combustion chamber or the flue
passages, clean the heat exchanger before proceeding further. See the cleaning procedure on the next page.
3) Remove any debris found in the combustion chamber, being careful not to disturb combustion chamber insulation.
4) Remove all burners, noting the location of the pilot main burner. If burners show signs of deterioration, they
should be replaced (some discoloration around the burner ports is normal). Clean the burners by first brushing
the ports with a soft bristle brush and then vacuuming out any debris through the venturi opening.
5) Inspect the pilot assembly. Clean any deposits found on the electrode and grounding strap. The ideal gap between
the electrode and the ground strap is 1/8”. Inspect the porcelain for cracks or other deterioration. Replace pilot
assembly if deterioration is found.
6) Inspect the combustion chamber insulation for deterioration.
7) Inspect the ignition cable insulation for cracks or other deterioration. If deterioration is found, replace cable.
8) Reinstall burners, being careful to put the pilot main burner in its original location.
9) Inspect all boiler wiring for loose connections or deterioration.
CAUTION
LABEL ALL WIRES PRIOR TO DISCONNECTION WHEN SERVICING CONTROLS. WIRING ERRORS CAN
CAUSE IMPROPER AND DANGEROUS OPERATION. VERIFY PROPER OPERATION AFTER SERVICING.
10) Inspect the vent system:
•
•
•
•
Make sure that the vent system is free of obstructions.
Make sure that all vent system supports are intact.
Inspect joints for signs of condensate or flue gas leakage.
Inspect venting components for corrosion or other deterioration. Replace any defective vent components.
11) Inspect the boiler system for leaks.
CAUTION
WATER LEAKS CAN CAUSE SEVERE CORROSION DAMAGE TO THE BOILER OR OTHER SYSTEM COMPO-
NENTS. REPAIR ANY LEAKS FOUND IMMEDIATELY.
12) Place the boiler back in operation using the procedure outlined in “Start-up”. Check the pilot line and any other
gas piping disturbed during the inspection process for leaks.

Heat Exchanger Cleaning Procedure
1) Turn off electrical power and gas supply to the boiler.
2) Disconnect the vent connector from the boiler.
3) Remove the blocked vent switch and the draft hood.
4) Remove the door panel and the top jacket panel.
5) Remove the burner access panels.
6) Remove the burners and inspect them for foreign debris and restrictions.
7) Clean the burners with a soft bristle brush and vacuum as necessary.
8) Remove the nuts and washers holding the flue collector onto the heat exchanger.
9) Remove the flue collector from the heat exchanger.
10) Clean the flue passageways using a stiff bristle brush. Be certain that all foreign material is removed from the
gaps between the pins.
11) Clean the bottom surfaces of the heat exchanger.
12) Put a light in the combustion chamber and look through the flue passages from the top to verify that they have
been thoroughly cleaned.
13) Replace the nuts and washers that hold down the flue collector.
14) Reseal the flue collector to the heat exchanger using furnace cement. The flue collector must be thoroughly sealed
to the heat exchanger.
15) Reattach all the jacket components.
16) Reinstall burners, being careful to put the pilot main burner in its’ original location.
17) Reinstall the draft hood. Reinstall the blocked vent switch on the skirt of the draft hood as shown in Figure 16.
18) Reconnect the vent system including the optional vent damper (if previously installed).
WARNING
SOOT DEPOSITS IN THE FLUE PASSAGES ARE A SIGN THAT THE BOILER MAY BE OPERATING AT HIGH
CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) LEVELS. AFTER CLEANING THE BOILER OF SOOT DEPOSITS, CHECK THE CO
LEVEL IN THE FLUE GAS TO INSURE THAT THE BOILER IS OPERATING PROPERLY.
If it is necessary to check CO, use a combustion analyzer, or other instrument which is designed to measure CO in flue gas.
A CO “sniffer” designed for testing CO levels in ambient air cannot be used to check boiler combustion. Take a flue gas
sample by inserting a sample probe through a small (approx. 1/4”) hole drilled in the draft hood pipe below the skirt. Do
not take a sample until the boiler has been firing for at least five minutes. Be sure to seal the sample hole after test.
A normal CO reading for a Series 16 boiler is less than 50ppm (0.005%). A reading of more than 100ppm (0.01%) is
indicative of a combustion problem.
Some causes of excessive CO include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Incorrectly sized main burner orifice for the altitude at which boiler is installed
Crooked or out-of-round orifice holes (never attempt to drill orifice for this boiler in the field)
Partially plugged flue passages
Improper manifold pressure
Foreign material in burner venturis or burner ports
Leak in seal between flue collector and heat exchanger
Inadequate supply of combustion air
Draft hood which has been cut or modified
